The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) disowns a 59-member Presidential Campaign Council list announced by the Obi–Kwankwaso Movement ahead of the 2027 elections. The party says the list is not authorized and that NDC leadership has not approved any campaign council, structure, or organ being published under its name.
According to reporting, the NDC leadership publicly distances itself from the movement’s announcement, emphasizing that no individual or group is permitted to constitute or publicize such a campaign body in the party’s name without authorization. The outlets frame the issue as a clarification and boundary-setting by the NDC rather than as an endorsement of the council list.
While both sources focus on the disowning, they differ slightly in emphasis: one outlet highlights the specific action of disowning the “presidential campaign council list,” while the other underscores the party’s rule that unauthorized entities cannot announce or publish campaign structures in NDC’s name. Both accounts point to a dispute over who has authority to name campaign leadership for the 2027 election cycle.
